Hey guys I'm alive. My baby is now 6 months old. We move in to a new house, I quit my job, ended up in the hospital with 3 bulges, wasn't walking for a week but start my new job next weekish. The idea for this chapter kept changing but I do have the basic plot figured out. Hope you enjoy it I am trying to type this while my baby is calm.
I did not have a good feeling about that meeting. My instincts were telling me that the female council member knew something. "Gaara who is the female council member?"
"Kimiko." He did not seem pleased with her.
"What do you know about her?" Something about her just seemed off.
"She was handpicked by an old council member after they finally retired. Her son disappeared during a mission and the body was never recovered. Why?" He did not seem happy with the thought of where I was going.
"She just.." How did I put this. "She just seemed to know more that the others. Like she knows about…..us or something. She just seemed very invested in your siblings reporting to her." I stared at my plate not sure how he'd react.
"Temari and Kankuro know how important it is to keep this a secret. They wouldn't dare disappointment me." I looked at Gaara when he finished speaking and he had a look in his eyes that scared me. This was the look that scared me ever since I met him when I was younger. I could feel my heart racing. What would happen to us if they found out. Would they make our… did I just say our? It was our child wasn't it. We were really in this together.
Gaara said something but I was lost in thought so I didn't hear. "You should rest." He repeated it when he saw me looking at him.
I was tired. Last nights sleep wasn't great and I had lost blood. "What about you?"
"I have to send a report to Konoha to let them know about the attack and your condition."
"Oh." What would Tsunade do? Would she break the contract and make me return?
"Come." Gaara was standing up and ready to head towards his room. He was very serious about me not leaving his side. He had even got his desk moved in to the bedroom while we were gone.
When I laid in bed I knew I would be safe because Gaara would never leave my side.
"Gaara?" I looked around the room and saw a light on in the bathroom. "Gaara?" I got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. "Are you okay?" He was standing in the middle of the bathroom just staring at the wall. "Is something wrong?" He wasn't answering me. "Gaara?" I touched his shoulder and he spun around but it wasn't Gaara. It was the man who attacked me.
"Hello my darling." The sound of his voice just made me stomach turn. I knew he could hurt me and I needed to leave. When I tried to run a grip on my wrist prevented me from getting far. "Now now darling. You don't get to leave just yet." He pulled me against his chest and I felt him press his face in to my hair. "Took bad that demon got to you first but we can get rid of the evidence and then you will be mine." A kunai appeared and made its way towards my stomach.
I shot straight up in bed my body drenched in sweat and a scream escaping my lips. "Gaara!" I was frantic where was he. I looked around the room and saw him pinned to the wall by sand. When our eyes met the sand melted away and he was instantly at my side.
"Are you okay?" He was trying to keep a straight face but his eyes gave away his worry.
I flung myself at him clenching his shirt in my hands. "I- He- Jus- Please don't leave me." My brain was so jumbled because of the dream that I could barely get a sentence out. I was shaking. I was... I was scared. He would be back. My chakra use was limited and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to protect myself or our child. A hand started running through my hair and an arm wrapped around my waist.
I looked up at Gaara. He was silent but I knew he still wasn't that best at dealing with other's emotions. At this moment he was trying to do anything he could think of and without knowing it he was doing the right thing. I just need to know someone was here for me. I wrapped my arms around him and just cried.
